Who is Elric Walker and what is his music like?

“His music is by turns direct, and driving, dreamy and lyrical, sweet and warm, rough and ready. The man has substance and style.”

-John Bye of One Part Luck

______

“In 1969 Duane Allman turned me on to Bob Dylan’s ‘John Wesley Harding’. In 1998 Bill Klock turned me on to Elric Walker’s ‘Odd Man Out’…”

-Jaimoe of The Allman Brothers Band

_______

“…a wonderful songwriter with a truly beautiful voice, but more importantly, he’s really something quite different, some prophet come in from the wilderness, just when you thought there wasn’t any wilderness left. His songs echo the cadences of the Bible, Verlaine, Rimbaud, the Beat Poets… His vision is classic and romantic and defiantly mythical. He’s seen the shadows moving on the fringes of the neon light, slept by the river and heard distant armies marching… He likes motorcycles… Listen to his songs!”

-John Coster The Medicine Band

____

“Elric who?”

-Willem Dafoe -American actor
